I'm lucky enough to call The Island home and invite you to come and experience the magic for yourselves. A warm Zambezi family welcome awaits, with a wealth of activities on offer including world-class fly fishing for Tigerfish and Upper Zambezi Yellowfish, and once in a lifetime birding.
You'll get closer to nature in our private mobile safari style tented accommodation, with fine dining and high-quality service. This Island is only 50km upstream from the Victoria Falls and 15km from Chobe National Park, making it the perfect destination for your Zambezi adventure.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Island.
